Rose hadn't even wanted to do anything for new years, and look where she was. Dressed up, at this
party.... she had even managed to come with a date? For someone who had felt relatively uncomfortable with going to this party in the first place, she had tied herself down pretty tightly into staying for a while even before getting there. At least Tony was a pleasant date. And her dress was loose enough that it didn't make her feel conscious when she ate or drank.
Letting out a sigh, Rose dropped her hands to her sides. She had not been enjoying herself for the past twenty minutes. Maybe that was a sign to head out? A time check revealed it was also getting close to midnight.... a fact that spurred her decision further to make a quick exit. Just the thought of being here when the clock struck made her feel unbelievably uncomfortable.
But as soon as she retrieved her coat, she realized that she couldn't leave without at least attempting to find Tony. Distracted by her search, it only took Rose a few minutes before bumping head first into another person. "I'm sorry I---" she started, reaching her hand out to the person before turning her head.
"Octavius!" she rushed, feeling her face flush. Had he been here the entire night?
